| Research Abstract |
We have succeeded in isolating Human cartilage progenitor cells (hCPCs) and regenerating cartilage derived from them. The hCPCs which were isolated from auricular perichondrium had not only high proliferative and multipotent capacity that human chondrocytes (hCs) did not have, but had same cartilage extracellular matrix capacity as hCs.
Our purpose is to develop handing skill that could apply hCPCs in clinical setting on the basis of their culture technique. Specifically, there are (1) Implementation of hCPCs characterization (2) Evaluation of regenerated cartilage in vivo (3) The development of 3D cartilage regeneration derived from hCPCs (4) The development of autologous serum technique.
